The spot to be from April 25-29 is the beautiful Sea Crest Beach Hotel in North Falmouth, MA. There is also an ad for this unique tournament on the right. Click on it to view the flyer. IMPORTANT NEWS: Construction on the Sagamore Bridge will be slowing traffic considerably for the next few weeks. The Bourne Bridge is probably a better choice. The official site for monitoring the project is here.

This just in: At the lunch break on Thursday at the Cape tournament Dick Budd and Mark Aquino will lead a discussion of the morning's hands. At 9:15 on Friday morning David Metcalf will answer questions about directing duplicate games. On Saturday morning at 8:30 Peter Marcus will give a presentation on the New Laws of Bridge. All of these events are free.

The standings of the Best in Class awards for 2018 can be viewed here. The charts include points won in the Cromwell tournament.

They look like winners! The ACBL has recognized the players in each category who have won the Mini-McKenney and Helen Shanbrom Ace of Clubs awards in New England in 2017. They are listed here with (in most cases) their photographs.

A new tab has been added at the left: "Tips for Tournaments." It contains links to short articles about playing in tournaments sponsored by District 25. Two of the articles are new. One serves as an introduction to playing in Regional Tournaments. The other concerns the new Continuous Victory Point Scales that will be used in some Swiss events.

Minutes: Carolyn Weiser, District 25's secretary, has provided minutes for the most recent meeting of the Executive Committee, the body that makes the most important decisions about the course of bridge in New England. You can read them here. The minutes for the latest Board of Delegates meeting are here. Note: Minutes are not posted until they have been approved, which generally happens at the next meeting. 

Minutes from all recent meetings as well as lists of members of the Executive Committee and the Board of Delegates can always be found under the "Officers & Admin." tab at left.

Winners Boards: NEBridge.org publishes photos of the winners of every strat in every event of every tournament sponsored by the district. Sad to say, the pages that contained the photos for 2014 and the first half of 2015 were lost in last summer's hardware catastrophe. However, the pages for all tournaments beginning with Hyannis in 2015 are available. The indexes have now been reconstructed.They are both available in the "Tournament Results" tab at left. The index by player can also be reached here. The index by tournament, date, and event is here. Please notify webmaster@NEBridge.org if you find any mistakes or want to submit a photo. It is never too late.

District 25 is definitely social. To keep up with the bridge news and gossip in New England check out our Facebook (NEBridge) page or follow us on Twitter (@NE_Bridge) or both. Twitter is very easy and non-threatening; for instructions on how to use it, just email webmaster@NEBridge.org.

New England Youth Bridge, Inc. has been working hard to showcase this great game to the video-game set. They urgently need our help. Details can be read here.

We strive to keep the website informative and easy to navigate.  Please  “Contact Us” if you have any questions or suggestions regarding District 25, the site, or anything else. 

Thank you for visiting.
